Dear MOM,first off thank you for all your love! All the nights you stayed by my side when I was sick,and being my friend that I could turn to about anything.You loved me when I was good and loved me when I was bad,you stood by my side and would never back down,I love you mom YOU ARE THE BEST!

I will post a picture in my photo album,but I found 25 morel mushrooms today,there were under brush and the ticks were very thick.I can hardly wait to dig in !

You have to feel sorry for these poor suckers,they are only making $83,000 per minute.Now that is a real shame they should be getting more out of our pockets than that a 10 billion dollar profit. The price of gas in Venezuela today is 12 cents a gallon,I think we need to get our fuel from them,save us a lot of money.In Saudi it is 40 cents a gallon,must be because they only have one car and a bus for everyone to ride.

Did anyone feel the economy do anything?Stores are doing everything to get that stimulus check,DO NOT FALL FOR IT! Be wise take care of things that will help your family  first,don`t go and get a plasma screen tv or other useless things that will not help.Most of us are more than likely to spend it on gas and food,just be sure to do whatever  wisely,or you may as well fill the tank go to the casino and put it all on red 28,if you do and hit send me some of the winnings,GOD knows the little bit we get will stimulate anything but stupidity!

Iraq has made over 70 BILLION dollars in oil profits,and the U.S. is giving them 40 BILLION  for reconstruction projects.Now why are we giving them money which I am sure they do not have to repay,when they have such a huge oil profit? How about giving the AMERICAN people 40 BILLION dollars that we would not have to pay back? I thought it was just Bush and the big oil companies,but if we are giving them BILLIONS in non repayable loans  it seems like the U.S. GOVERNMENT cares more about other nations than our own,it`s time to end this nonsense! 

How is it possible that an unarmed person is shot down in a barrage of gunfire not by gang bangers but the POLICE and the police are not convicted of cold blooded murder? This verdict in NEW YORK is just another slap in the face and a we do not care about black AMERICANS !As a white person and more as an AMERICAN I am disgusted with this senseless slaying of AMERICAN citizens.It does not matter if you are black or white,we are supposed to be protected by the POLICE who are sworn to uphold the law no matter what ! Am I supposed to  assume all black AMERICANS are gang bangers,do I assume all MIDDLE EASTERN people terrorist ?When are we going to learn to live together as ONE NATION UNDER GOD ? I would assume being a POLICE officer is a job most of us could never do,but what could lead them to believe they had to shoot like it was a cop gang slaying? Are POLICE that bad of shots ? Or is it that cops assume all blacks are gang members?I am just a hick in the sticks and not the brightest bulb in the pack,but I do not make such a stupid assumption! Why do we let this go on? These cops should be in prison and if the JUDGE who made the ruling can not see that,then there is a big problem there....NO JUSTICE ! When we lose  the balance of TRUTH AND JUSTICE what is left to protect us,we count on the POLICE to PROTECT AND SERVE not shoot first ! JUSTICE,WHAT A LAUGH.......! 

Wanda sat on the front porch and my wife dressed her up in different outfits,well somebody took her right off the front porch with a yard light on,nothing else was missing! I went to the local grocery store and a neighbor north of us said his cars were gone through and was scattered all out on the ground,I told my wife and she called the SHERRIFS office to file a report,while we were waiting for the law to show up I checked the garage and as I was heading to the house I saw Wanda`s arm laying in the ditch,we did not touch it thinking the cops would finger print  the arm and maybe find out who was commiting these crimes in our area.I was shocked when we were told that although a crime was committed the finger print lab would put this case at the bottom of the pile and it could take years to get any report back,this seems insane ! In this age of technology a simple finger print  ought to be able to proccessed in an instant with no wait time to speak of,but the officer said it is not like C.S.I. ! Why is it crimes are not solved any faster and why so many crimminals walk away or never get caught ,we need to put the resources in the hands of law enforcement ,not make them stand in line and take a number!

My parents lost everything when their house burned to the ground this weekend.High winds took a random embers and it was all lost very fast.Luckily  they made it out of the house and RED CROSS is helping them out.My parents have always burned wood and they kept the stove and pipes in good shape,all it took was the high winds and a few sparks,keep your wood stoves in working order and always be careful when you have high winds,accidents like this even happen to folks who have burned wood all their lives,all because they could not afford to buy propane like a lot of us in the same boat we have to turn to alternate heating sources or freeze,THANK GOD they got out alive and it was the smoke detector that saved them,so check your smoke alarms and make sure your batteries are in good working order today before it is too late!

February the 14th 1992 I proposed in the rose garden at midnight and you accepted,checker it feels just like yesterday and I would do it all over again ! I can only hope and pray that the next 16 years will be as much fun ! I love you checker and always will ,Happy anniversary honey.

Talk about sick,the police released the child to the man that ended up killing it. How sad life has become when grown adults will do cruel and uncaring  things to innocent children.I feel for the parents of this child ,knowing that you put your child's  life into another's  hands only to find out that they are not taking care of your child and then to find out the police found your child and because a man say`s he is the child's  parents boyfriend and the police give him the child and then he murders the child.That is so sad !I am sure he will be committed and live life in prison and feel no remorse for his actions. When are we going to enforce harsher penalties for people who harm children,I do not want this man to rehabilitate his self I would rather he be put down like a sick dog,there is no defense for what he has done! 

I was watching the news on this and it looks like the check will be in the mail and at a time when the poor could really use it,at the same time when you look at the income guidelines it goes beyond helping the poor,those at poverty levels or below and it gives folks with income in the $100,000  a check as well.Now I am thinking how can you be in such a bind if you are bringing home that much money? As dad always used to say "champagne taste on a beer budget" when you are like most folks barely getting by paycheck to paycheck,heating fuel cost going insane and not to forget high gas prices, we survive and that is about it. Now I feel for you if you are in the midst of losing your home,but how many make good money and still live beyond their means? Folks mortgage their homes to pay off credit cards and then get ripped off by uncaring mortgage lenders who prey on well off folks the way payday loans do poor folks.We need to learn to live on a realist budget and keep our hard earned money in our pockets instead of  wasting it and ruining  life.

Evidently the people who were attacked were smoking pot and drinking,now how this upset the tigers is lost on me.Evidently  it was not the fact that the tiger escaped from an enclosed cage and killed one and injuring others.Who would have been to blame if the tiger had attacked a family and not some kids smoking weed ?The facts are the tiger should not have been able to get out ! So the next time you go to the zoo stay away from the tiger section especially if you are a young person who is smoking weed and drinking,it would not have mattered who was outside the pen when it happened the zoo failed in it`s job to keep the animals safe and the visitors safe.I would not feel for these kids if they had done this in the tigers natural environment,it would serve them right,but when you go to a zoo you expect security from animals in the zoos care.It is no different than if you have a mean dog on a chain and kids tease the dog,the dog has to take it,but if the same dog is in a fenced in area and is  able to breach the fence,then it is not the idiots who are teasing the dog but the dog`s owner for failing to keep the public safe,what do you think ?

Love this band,my favorite song is "FAST MOVING TRAINS",great artist in every aspect,great to see them on FOX 4.

When you join blog groups you accept that the company that owns the site set`s the rules and they will know who you are. I get we have have rights,but do you think that when it comes to bloggers who post knowledge of crimes,that no one else could know about,should the law have the right to get any information from the source ? News organizations have the right to keep inside informants name secret,to keep from harming the secret person`s I.D. What is the harm in helping solve crimes ? Is it snitching to keep sick murderers and child molesters off our streets? I would hope that if someone knew anything about things like this would call the law,you have to get involved to stop the violence.When we tie the hands of the police how can we expect them to solve crimes? The constitution has been raped by lawyers defending their criminal clients! The founding fathers had no clue how one piece of paper would set the stage for it`s abuse by the people,criminal`s who are truly guilty but because of some technicality they get away with their crime.I say if you are posting comments on any boards you better be ready to face the music,posting lies is what happened to that girl in Missouri on my space and now those people are facing criminal charges,Justice will be served !

Our hearts go out to those who lost their lives in OMAHA,and do not take this the wrong way,but how come there was a big flap over the flag when the firefighter who just died they refused to fly the flag at half staff,and this person was a fire fighter. Now not taking the value of anyones who dies but what makes these people better than a fire fighter? If we say it ok  to fly it at half staff for those who died in OMAHA and we do not show a FIRE FIGHTER the same respect by flying the same flag at half staff,to me it is wrong that so much disrespect for a FIREMAN was shown by not flying the flag at half staff.
